CURTAIN-POLE RING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. '7, 1908.

Application filed October 4,1907. Serial No. 395.907

.T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jonx Knonnn, a l by citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved (,urtainPole Ring, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to curtain pole rings having anti-friction rollers traveling in the curtain pole, and the object of the invention is to provide a new and improved curtain pole ring having portions of the tubular ring doubled up or flattened, to provide a space for readily accommodating the anti-friction rollers, without weakening the ring or unduly enlarging the diameter of the ring for a given size curtain pole.

-The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinal'ter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accmnpanying drawin 's forming a part ol this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a face view of the curtain ring in position on the curtain pole, the latter being in section; Fig. 2 is a plan view ol' the same; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the impr Wement on the line 3-3 ofFig. 2.

The hollow or tubular ring A, illustrated in Figs, 1, 2 and 3, is reduced. on opposite sides of the top of the ring by flattening corresponding portions A of the ring A, each flattened portion A being provided with a slot A for the reception of an anti-friction roller B, journaled on a bearing 0, in the lorm ol an axle or rod, secured at its ends soldering, riveting or like methods, to the ring A at opposite sides of the llattened portion A. :l t is understood that a portion or portions of the ring are doubled up or flattened, thus retaining the strength of the ring and at the same time providing a space for the accommodation of the antil'riction roller.

By the arrangement described, the bottom portion ol' the anti-friction roller projects but a short distance beyond the inner circular l'acc ol' the ring, and hence it is not necessary to enlarge the ring unduly for a given size pole, in order to accommodate the anti-friction rollers.

A curtain ring, constructed as shown and described, can be cheaply manul awturcd and is exceedingly strong and durable.

llaving thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A curtain pole ring, comprising a ring having a [lattened portion provided with a slot, and an anti-friction roller journaled on the ring and extending into the said. slot.

2. A curtain pole ring, cmnprising a ring having a llattened portion provided with a slot, a bearing on the inner face of the Hattened portion, and an anti-friction roller jonrnaled on the said bearing and extending into the said slot.

ln testnnony whereol' I have signed my name to tlns specrlication 1n the presence ol -t\vo subscribing witnesses.

JOHN KRODER.
